Youngsters take to the streets to paint a picture of Saigon's polluted future

By Minh Nga   July 27, 2017 | 06:11 pm PT
The city's walls tell a story of what the next generation will face if things don't change, now.

Ten walls in Ho Chi Minh City have been transformed by murals that show the negative impacts of climate change, pollution and the importance of clean energy.

The paintings were selected from a pool of 34 entries to the “Thanh pho 2030” (City in 2030) competition, organized by the Center of Hands-on Actions and Networking for Growth and Environment (CHANGE), a non-governmental organization.

The top works have been hanging on walls in District 1 and District 10 since Monday.

Most of them were produced by high-school and college students.

If you don't have time to take a look of these walls, scroll down for a tour and think about the messages they are trying to portray.
